What a class act he was today, made one mistake all game, what a performance. This guy is the person we should build our team around for the future. Fantastic to watch, few players get me on the edge of my seat when watching a game but he does it.

Great game from him, he should surely get most games now with Smith injured, lets hope he can get even better.

Bit strong to suggest building a team around but do admit he has got real raw talent. Just don't sell him

Give him another season before blowing something like a five year plan on a may of been. Not saying the plan is fruitless just saying next season other teams will have time to study and look for loopholes in his game-play.

I must be honest I thought tomkins was being over hyped but Il be honest and say he looked pure class today.

Not seen much of him but if that's anything to go by he looks top class.

Also gave good interview after the game on sky.

Thats the good thing, there is unlikely to be any, he is hardly a one trick pony. He can kick, pass, run, he has pace, he can read a game. I was not one bigging him up too much early in the season but he was brilliant today IMO and has proved he is good enough, but as you say time will still tell he is not the finished article yet, but I think it is only fair to praise him for his excelent game today.

Two things;

-Firstly he saved a certain try with an excellent tackle on Fox and kicked on from there by taking the game by the scruff of the neck when it was in the balance which is something we’ve been looking for our HB to do all season. His first break for the Carmont try was top notch reading of the game, the 40/20 couldn’t have been timed better for us and his try was again never giving up and supporting the man which is what all top HB do.

-Secondly how many times do our kids have to stand up and show the way? When players like Fielden or Riddell should be sparking us to life when we are down it’s again left to players like Phelps to come up with a moment of magic or for Mcilorum to inject some urgency into the game.

Imagine what our youngsters could do for us if they played with players of the calibre of Peacock, Cunningham, Pryce or Gidley?

I agree with you he had a great game today and to settle so quickly coming on five mins into the game in effect turned around your overall attitude and performance and has to be said won you the game.

I still think it would be mid way through next season before the club would make such a bold financial decision though.

From a saints fan he is a joy to watch and proof you can make the cap work lol. That might get a few replies

Mclorum had another good game.

We are so much better with him on the field.

Another academy player out-shining the cap busters?

See in four years time at this rate your side will be in favour of "THE CAP"

He played well but his distribution needs working on seriously.

Pure class this kid.
